u mad?

Why? It burns more calories than sitting or lying down. Why track every bite of food and then ignore chunks of calories burned. It may not seem to be "exercise" in the strictest definition but if you haven't stood up for a year than it would be.

I am gonna sneak to your house and log all the cleaning you do. :devil:

I really REALLY want to be snarky but I'm holding back. I am trying to determine how many calories I really burn in a day, so I have set my profile to sedentary and add back all the stuff I do that does not include standing. Yesterday I lightly cleaned for 7 hours, it adds up. I also jogged for 20 min. I want all the data…

Too funny, I was going to say 99 years old.

Woot-woot! Go you!:happy:

Doing that and not wasting money on the gym = WIN x 2

Nah, just a reminder that going to the gym isn't a fix-all. If you need to lose you will still have to work at the food part.

Yeah but you said her diet didn;t change at all - as in she has always ate giant Chipotle burritos which means that she is creating a deficit from the exercise. The article was saying that a bunch of the people added a burrito as a post work out treat and that is why they gain or only maintain.

I drink one cup of coffee a day. I bought a teeny tiny french press that only makes 1 at a time, and that keeps me from giving into the temptation to drink more. I use creamer and sugar so too much coffee = too many calories for me.

I filter my water at home and keep it in the fridge. I drink a gallon a day and would be BROKE if I tried to buy bottles. Wait I am broke anyways. lol And try to make the most out of your bathroom breaks. Go right before you clock in for the day and after lunch and maybe you will only need 2 to make the day go by? If you…

sautee some onions in a pan to help sweeten them up some, lay them over the top of the fish and give a few squirts of fresh lemon or lime and bake it till it's flakey, then add another squirt of the citrus on top. or you can make a glaze out of pancake syrup and brown mustard and coat the fish and bake til flakey.

Ya know what else looks nasty? Mashed up peas for baby food.

not beat into the ground silly, mechanically separated and processed!

I try to drink 100 ounces of water a day :drinker: My skin is awesome and I can pee like a horse. Jealous?

I would wear this on a shirt, except well, that would be embarrassing:laugh: too me.

I have a gigantic tervis tumbler that keeps water cold and holds 16+ ounces in it. Every time I empty the glass I mark the bottom with a dry erase marker and it is fun to add up all the tallys at the end of the day - it is kindof a game now. :drinker: <water

Are your muscles sore? When you really push your muscles they can retain a LOT of water. Soreness would almost be a guarantee that you are retaining, although you could be without the soreness. One slip up does not = 4 lbs. If this is a routine you enjoy then stick to it and your body will adjust. You also need to fuel…

sounds yummy, I have been eating crustless pumpkin pie lately with a tiny but of cool whip. This may be my next recipe I make.

Yikes! Is that a threat?

Ya know what is really fun? Ask the girl selling what her favorite flavor is, buy them and then give them to her to share with her friends! It is killer to work a cookie table and not eat some! and you get to smile a little bigger when you think about the smaller jeans.

You are lucky! I also know you love her very much. It's different when you are talking about 3 or 4 kids though, that's 3 or 4 little kid opinions and that many more opportunities for them to come undone when they don't get their way. Ever ask 1 kid what they want for dinner? Ever asked 3 kids what they want for dinner? -…

Remarks like mine? Who's venting? I was being lighthearted - I genuinely wanted to know how 4 kids never had 1 temper tantrum. I thought maybe it was in the definition, cause I define a tantrum as a negative behavior that needs to be addressed. Could be a pouty face, laying on the floor, whining,,,, I would think that most…

With 4 kids? Either we have different ideas of what a tantrum is or maybe your kids are robots???

How did they learn what was gonna happen?

I am a big fan of the 'ignore' method. Sometimes if it was really over the top then the next thing they ask for they don't get. By this point they are calm and can actually understand when you say "you were acting really ugly when you threw yourself on the floor and I don't give cookies (or whatever) to kids who act that…

I love sweet potatoes!!!! When you are shopping look for small -medium for the best texture (softer less stringy). I eat them baked, microwaved, french fry style, mashed... I used to eat them with brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter but one day I just tried it plain or sometimes I just add a touch of the butter/sugar mix.…
